Global regulators usually defer to the agency from the plane-maker's home country, but the European agency is conducting its own 737 Max review.
The European Aviation Safety Agency is planning to conduct its own test flights of the Boeing 737 Max before it is returned to service. EASA is also taking a second look at aspects of the plane's design, suggesting a rare break with the Federal Aviation Administration — one with the potential to set a new precedent for how new and updated planes are certified. Although global regulators usually follow each other's lead, the FAA has faced criticism for its handing of the Max.
